.     PREFACE 

This  book  was  begun  years  ago  as  an  appendix  to  a  history 
of  the  Fourth  Iowa  Cavalry,*  but  was  laid  aside  partly  from  want 
of  time  to  complete  it,  and  partly  because  it  would  have  made 
that  book  too  large.  But  men  of  the  regiment  have  often  urged 
the  completing  of  the  work,  and  one  in  particular,  widely  known 
and  honored  among  the  Veterans  of  the  West  for  long  and  sub 
stantial  labors  in  their  interests,  Charles  H.  Smith,  Lieutenant 
of  Company  C,  finally  induced  me  to  take  it  up  again,  and  he, 
with  the  other  officers  of  the  Fourth  Iowa  Cavalry  Association 
(a  society  formed  by  the  survivors  of  the  regiment),  have  given 
much  attention  to  the  work  during  its  progress.  To  him  and 
them  the  old  soldiers  and  their  friends  are  indebted  for  any  grati 
fication  they  may  feel  on  reading  these  records. 

The  plan  of  the  book  is  to  give  the  whole  military  record  of 
each  man  while  a  member  of  the  regiment,  excepting  sick-list 
and  hospital  experiences  not  connected  with  discharge  or  death, 
and  excepting  individual  service  without  casualty  in  campaigns, 
marches,  or  engagements.  The  sick-lists  were  ephemeral  papers 
and  could  not  now  be  found  or  justly  collated  ;  lists  of  hospital 
patients  would  be  incomplete  and  imperfect,  even  if  all  the 
records  were  available,  as  they  are  not  ;  and  in  view  of  the  way 
in  which  the  company  records  were  kept  it  would  be  impossible 
to  tell  what  men  took  part  in  any  particular  action  or  campaign. 
When  the  records  were  made  no  one  was  thinking  of  the  future 
fame  of  individuals.  It  seemed  enough  to  say  that  the  regiment 
went  into  action  or  on  a  campaign  with  a  given  number  of  offi 
cers  and  men.  The  killed,  wounded,  captured,  missing  would 
finally  be  named,  but  no  others. 

The  history  given  is  that  of  the  original  records,  supplemented 
by  papers  of  my  own  and  of  other  officers  and  soldiers,  all  veri-

fied  with  much  care.  But  the  great  number  of  errors  and  contra 
dictions  found  and  traced  to  explanation  makes  it  probable  that 
many  others  remain  hidden.  I  can  say  only  that  the  work  is  as 
nearly  correct  as  it  could  well  be  made,  and  certainly  more  nearly 
correct  than  the  official  records. 

The  regiment  was  organized  by  special  authority  of  the  War 
Department,  obtained  by  the  urgent  request  of  Governor  Kirk- 
wood  and  the  personal  influence  of  James  Harlan,  then  United 
States  Senator  from  Iowa.  In  the  early  part  of  .the  war  the  War 
Department  was  willing  to  accept  only  a  few  regiments  of  cav 
alry,  and  it  was  felt  as  a  kind  of  triumph  when  an  order  for  the 
raising  of  this  regiment  was  received. 

Its  camp  was  immediately  established  (October  17,  1861)  at 
Mt.  Pleasant,  the  home  of  Senator  Harlan  and  of  the  proposed 
colonel,  and  was  named  Camp  Harlan.  This  was  a  series  of  bar 
racks  and  horse  sheds  at  the  western  edge  of  the  town,  and  as 
the  equipping  of  the  regiment  was  slow,  the  government  finding 
it  exceedingly  difficult  to  obtain  even  a  portion  of  the  vast  sup 
plies  then  required,  the  camp  became  winter  quarters. 

All  the  original  enlistments  and  nearly  all  of  those  of  recruits 
were  made  "  for  three  years  or  during  the  war,"  but  a  few  recruits 
sent  to  the  regiment  in  1863  and  1864  were  enlisted  for  one  year. 
As  given  in  this  roster  all  enlistments  are  for  three  years  if  not 
otherwise  stated. 

The  original  organization  was,  or  should  have  been,  under 
G.  Os.  15,  25  and  36  of  1861,  War  Dep.  A.  G.  O.,  but  no  definite 
system  prevailed  among  the  mustering  officers  at  that  time, 
and  many  of  their  musters  were  not  sustained.  Some  officers 
of  the  regimental  staff  had  to  be  discharged  after  a  few  months 
under  a  ruling  of  the  War  Department  that  they  were  not  au 
thorized. 

The  mustering  was  begun  November  23  and  ended  December 
26,  1861;  and  the  organization  was  then  i  colonel,  i  lieutenant- 
colonel,  3  majors,  i  adjutant,  i  quartermaster,  i  surgeon,  i 
assistant  surgeon,  i  chaplain,  i  sergeant-major,  i  quarter 
master-sergeant,  i  commissary-sergeant;  in  the  battalion  staff, 
3  adjutants,  3  quartermasters,  3  sergeant-majors,  3  quarter 
master-sergeants,  3  commissary-sergeants,  3  hospital-stewards, 


PREFACE  5 

3  saddler-sergeants  and  3  veterinary-sergeants  ;  and  12  com 
panies,  containing  each  i  captain,  i  first  lieutenant,  i  second 
lieutenant,  i  first  sergeant,  i  quartermaster-sergeant,  i  com 
missary-sergeant,  4  sergeants,  8  corporals,  2  buglers,  2  farriers 
and  blacksmiths,  i  saddler,  i  wagoner,  and  about  80  privates. 
The  companies  were  divided  into  three  battalions  of  four  com 
panies  each,  the  order  being  A,  G,  D,  Kin  the  First,  C,  F,  I,  L 
in  the  Second,  and  E,  H,  M,  B  in  the  Third,  this  order  being 
always  followed  in  regimental  and  battalion  formation.  The 
colors  were  placed  on  the  right  of  the  Second  Battalion,  and 
were  thus  in  Company  C. 

There  was  a  brass  band  of  i  leader  and  16  men,  but  these  were 
enlisted  men  in  the  companies,  assigned  to  duty  as  musicians. 

Later  two  men  were  promoted  from  one  of  the  companies  to 
the  Non-commissioned  Staff  as  the  principal  musicians  authorized 
by  G.  O.  15,  above  mentioned,  but  they  were  called  "  Chief 
Buglers,"  and  acted  only  as  buglers.  There  was  also  an  enlisted 
man  assigned  to  duty  as  Wagon-master  of  the  regiment,  as  if 
that  were  a  position  of  the  Non-commissioned  Staff. 

Then  the  quartermaster  and  later  the  adjutant  were  mustered 
out  as  unauthorized,  not  being  lieutenants  of  the  line  assigned 
to  extra  duty. 

Under  an  Act  of  Congress  of  July  17,  1862,  and  G.  O.  126,  War 
Dep.,  A.  G.  O.,  dated  September  6,  1862,  all  the  volunteer  cav 
alry  was  reorganized.  The  battalion  staff  organization  was 
dropped,  and  the  men  composing  it  (including  the  "  Wagon- 
master  ")  were  discharged.  The  regimental  band  was  also  dis 
charged.  An  adjutant,  a  quartermaster  and  a  commissary 
were  added  to  the  Field  and  Staff,  and  2  hospital-stewards,  i 
saddler-sergeant,  and  i  chief  farrier  to  the  Non-commissioned 
Staff,  while  the  chief  buglers  were  dropped.  The  company 
non-commissioned  officers  were  increased  i  sergeant  and  2  team 
sters,  but  lost  the  two  buglers.*  The  act  of  July  17,  1862,  had 
provided  for  a  chief  trumpeter  to  each  regiment  and  a  super 
numerary  second  lieutenant  to  each  company,  but  the  War 
Department  did  not  order  them  mustered  in. 

*  The  men  who  had  been  buglers  remained,  however,  and  went  on  blowing  just 
the  same,  though  not  recognized  officially  for  some  time. 


6  PREFACE 

Still  other  changes  were  made  in  the  cavalry  by  G.  O.  no, 
War  Dep.,  A.  G.  O.,  of  April  29,  1863.  Two  assistant  surgeons 
were  now  allowed,  the  chief  farrier  was  replaced  by  a  veterinary 
surgeon,  and  a  chief  trumpeter  was  added.  In  the  company 
the  2  teamsters  were  dropped  (leaving  i  wagoner)  and  2  trump 
eters  were  added.  This  organization  continued  to  the  end  of 
the  war. 

A  few  other  positions,  found  necessary  in  practice  but  not 
provided  for  by  law,  were  filled  by  detail  of  men  from  the  com 
panies,  namely,  wagonmaster,  armorer,  and  wardmaster  in  the 
hospital. 

When  the  regiment  was  mustered  in  it  had  1086  officers  and 
men.  The  long  service  under  unhealthy  conditions  in  Arkansas, 
immediately  followed  by  the  exhausting  toil  and  frequent  fight 
ing  in  the  Vicksburg  campaign,  greatly  diminished  its  numbers, 
so  that  in  June,  1863,  it  was  not  entitled  to  muster  a  colonel  to 
fill  the  vacancy  then  existing.  This  difficulty  was  overcome  by 
the  influence  of  General  Sherman,  who  had  taken  a  special  inter 
est  in  the  regiment,  and  a  new  colonel  was  mustered  in  soon 
after  Vicksburg  surrendered. 

The  diminishing  in  numbers  continued,  though  not  so  rapidly 
after  the  fall  of  Vicksburg,  until  November,  1863.  About  500 
had  then  been  lost,  and  the  lowest  point  in  numbers  in  the  his 
tory  of  the  regiment  was  reached.  In  December  recruits  began 
to  come  in,  and  they  were  added  rapidly  until  May,  1864,  when 
the  highest  point  was  gained,  the  rolls  then  containing  1,354 
names. 

Under  a  series  of  general  orders  of  the  War  Department  in  the 
latter  part  of  1863,  a  large  portion  of  the  soldiers  who  had  served 
two  years  ree' misted  as  Veterans.  In  the  Fourth  Iowa  a  large 
majority  of  those  who  were  eligible  reenlisted,  a  proportion 
which  entitled  it  to  be  mustered  as  a  Veteran  regiment,  which 
was  done  December  25,  1863.  It  proved  to  be  one  of  the  first 
Veteran  regiments  in  the  army  and  the  first  of  the  State  of  Iowa. 
Those  who  did  not  reenlist  were  discharged  in  December,  1864, 
at  the  end  of  the  three  years  for  which  they  had  been  mustered  in. 

The  War  Department  was  continually  striving  to  get  more 
men  on  the  "  duty  "  lists  and  also  to  put  to  service  the  mob  of 


PREFACE  7 

negroes  who  followed  the  camps.  One  of  its  devices  in  this 
direction  was  G.  O.  323,  of  September  28,  1863,  providing  for 
the  enlistment  of  "  Under-Cooks  of  African  Descent,"  two  for 
each  company.  All  of  the  companies  of  this  regiment  had  been 
using  negroes  as  cooks,  but  not  all  now  took  the  trouble  to 
formally  enlist  them.  Many  of  those  who  were  enlisted  soon 
disappeared,  on  slight  provocation  or  inducement,  and  no  one 
cared  to  pursue  them  as  deserters.  Their  names,  too,  were 
uncertain  and  usually  limited  to  the  single  "  Tom  "  or  "  Abe.'^ 
So,  although  those  who  were  enlisted  were  officially  members 
of  the  regiment,  any  record  of  them  would  be  so  far  from  com 
plete  or  certain  that  it  has  been  thought  best  to  omit  them  all 
from  this  roster. 

When  the  war  ended  and  the  Confederates  had  quietly  sur 
rendered,  not  taking  to  the  woods  as  guerrillas,  as  was  half 
expected  on  one  side,  nor  to  death  in  last  ditches,  as  had  been 
promised  on  the  other,  the  War  Department  set  about  reducing 
the  numbers  of  the  army.  One  of  the  orders  it  issued  for  this 
purpose  was  G.  O.  77,  of  April  28,  1865,  which  directed  that 
"  all  volunteer  soldiers  patients  in  hospitals,  except  Veteran 
Volunteers,  Veterans  of  the  First  Army  Corps,  and  enlisted  men 
of  the  Veteran  Reserve  Corps,  who  require  no  further  medical 
treatment,  be  honorably  discharged  from  the  service,  with  im 
mediate  payment." 

It  also  directed  that  "  all  officers  and  enlisted  men  who  have 
been  prisoners  of  war  and  are  now  on  furlough  or  at  the  parade 
camps,  and  all  recruits  in  rendezvous  except  those  for  the  regular 
army,  be  likewise  honorably  discharged." 

Another  of  these  orders  was  G.  O.  83,  of  May  8,  1865,  which 
directed  that  "  all  Volunteer  soldiers  of  the  cavalry  arm  whose 
term  of  service  will  expire  before  October  i,  1865,  be  mustered 
out  and  discharged  immediately." 

To  avoid  repeating  the  terms  of  these  orders  in  all  the  cases 
to  which  they  apply  in  this  roster  the  hospital  patients  are 
reported  discharged  "  as  convalescent  in  [or  '  from  ']  hospital," 
the  prisoners  of  war  ' '  as  paroled  prisoner  of  war  on  furlough,"  and 
the  third  class  as  "  term  of  enlistment  to  expire  before  Oct.  i." 

Some  of  the  military  departments  issued  their  own  orders, 


8  PREFACE 

designed  to  carry  out  these  orders  of  the  War  Department;  in 
particular  the  Department  of  Kentucky  issued  its  G.  O.  27,  dated 
May — ,  1865,  in  execution  of  G.  O.  77,  above  mentioned.  As 
the  records  of  some  men  mention  this  G.  O.  27,  and  not  G.  O. 
77,  they  so  appear  in  the  roster. 

The  discharge  of  others  is,  in  the  records,  referred  to  certain 
special  authority  or  telegraphic  orders  received  from  the  War 
Department  direct  during  the  same  period.  These  special  orders, 
however,  nearly  all  prove  to  be  merely  supplementary  to  G.  O. 
77,  and  they  are  mentioned  in  the  roster  because  given  in  the 
records  as  reasons  for  discharge. 

When  the  regiment  was  mustered  out  many  of  its  men  who 
were  in  general  hospital  at  different  posts,  from  Iowa  to  Georgia, 
from  Ohio  to  Arkansas,  were  not  within  the  description  of  G.  O. 
77.  These  were  entered  on  the  final  rolls  and  nominally  mus 
tered  out  with  their  several  companies ;  and  so  they  appear  in 
this  roster  as  "  mustered  out  on  Co.  rolls  as  absent  sick,"  etc. 
They  are,  therefore,  counted  in  the  summary  as  if  present  at 
final  muster-out  and  discharge. 

Many  men  served  in  different  ranks  and  in  different  places 
in  the  regiment.  Those  whose  service  was  all  within  one  com 
pany  are  mentioned  only  once,  in  the  highest  place  held,  and 
the  whole  record  is  there  given,  while  the  others  are  named  in 
each  company  in  which  they  served. 

The  place-name  in  italics  following  the  soldier's  name  is  that 
of  the  town  or  county  of  his  residence  at  the  time  of  his  enlist 
ment.  In  some  cases  the  records  do  not  give  the  residence,  but 
only  the  place  of  enlistment,  and  I  have  so  indicated. 

All  places  the  names  of  which  are  not  followed  by  the  name  of 
a  State  or  other  country  are  in  Iowa.  This  is,  of  course,  to  avoid 
the  otherwise  very  frequent  repetition  of  the  name  of  the  State. 

It  may  be  noticed  that  there  is  apparent  confusion  between 
the  titles  "  wagoner  "  and  "  teamster,"  and  "  bugler  "  and 
"  trumpeter."  Wagoners  and  teamsters  were  in  fact  the  same 
in  duties,  and  so  were  buglers  and  trumpeters;  but  the  several 
successive  orders  of  the  War  Department  reorganizing  the  cav 
alry  used  these  different  names,  and  of  course  the  names  stood 
as  ordered  until  a  modifying  order  was  issued. 


PREFACE  9 

It  ought  to  be  said  that  the  men  appearing  on  company  rolls 
as  "  deserted  "  were  not  always  deserters  within  the  usual  black 
meaning  of  the  word.  In  a  few  cases  in  this  regiment  the  crime 
must  have  been  deliberately  intended,  but  in  the  most  of  them 
the  report  became  necessary  under  the  regulations,  which  require 
that  a  soldier  absent  without  leave  be  reported  as  deserted. 
He  may  have  been  originally  sent  away  sick,  or  on  furlough,  or 
under  lawful  orders;  but  not  returning  or  having  his  leave  ex 
tended,  he  must  in  time  be  accounted  for  by  his  company  com 
mander.  Yet  he  may  have  been  dead  or  disabled;  sometimes 
it  was  found  that  he  had  simply  enlisted  in  some  other  command. 
Many  volunteers  had  vague  or  loose  conceptions  of  their  position 
and  obligations  as  soldiers. 

The  regiment  was  mustered  out  at  Atlanta,  Georgia,  all  the 
companies  on  August  8  and  the  Field  and  Staff  on  August  10, 
1865.  After  a  few  days  required  for  turning  in  its  horses,  arms 
and  equipments,  it  was  moved  by  rail  to  Davenport,  where  it 
was  paid  and  finally  discharged  on  August  24,  1865. 

A  list  of  the  engagements  of  the  regiment,  excepting  minor 
ones,  appears  in  the  history  above  mentioned,  but  for  conven 
ience  of  reference  from  the  roster  and  to  make  some  corrections, 
another  list,  reduced  and  revised,  is  printed  here,  immediately 
following  the  roster.  This  list  contains  only  those  engagements 
in  which  some  of  the  regiment  were  killed,  wounded  or  captured, 
the  others,  though  some  of  them  were  important,  having  no 
necessary  connection  with  a  roster. 

It  had  been  proposed  to  have  portraits  in  this  book,  and  some 
photographs  were  received;  but  it  was  feared  that  if  an  effort 
were  made  to  get  pictures  of  all  who  were  members  of  the  regi 
ment  the  number  might  be  so  large  as  to  make  their  publication 
impracticable.  It  was  finally  decided  to  use  only  the  pictures 
of  the  officers  of  the  Association  of  the  regiment,  before  men 
tioned,  one  being  excepted,  however,  because  it  already  appears 
in  the  book  to  which  this  volume  is  an  appendix. 

I  am  indebted  to  many  comrades  of  the  regiment,  soldiers  as 
well  as  officers — so  many  that  they  cannot  be  named  here — for 
information  and  aid  cheerfully  given  me;  and  two  gentlemen  of 
the  Adjutant-General's  Office  at  Des  Moines,  John  L.  Hume  and 


io  PREFACE 

Thomas  L.  Stephens,  have,  with  much  patience  and  interest, 
made  for  me  a  vast  number  of  special  searches  of  the  rolls  and 
records  of  their  office. 

And  to  my  wife  I  owe  nearly  all  the  work  on  the  index,  as  well 
as  constant  help  in  the  long  and  tedious  labor  of  comparing  and 
correcting.

FIELD  AND  STAFF 

When  the  War  Department  authorized  a  fourth  regiment  of 
cavalry  from  Iowa  the  Governor  had  already  chosen  Asbury  B. 
Porter  for  the  Colonel  and  Mt.  Pleasant  for  the  place  of  rendez 
vous.  It  was  to  be  the  first  camp  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  and  the  town 
and  surrounding  country  were  excited  to  the  deepest  interest. 
The  greater  part  of  the  Field  and  Staff  and  nearly  the  whole  of 
three  companies  (C,  D,  and  K),  as  well  as  many  in  other  com 
panies,  came  out  of  that  beautiful  little  city  and  its  county. 

The  promise  of  the  Field  and  Staff  was  excellent.  It  was 
composed  of  men  of  the  highest  standing  in  their  several  com 
munities,  some  of  them  already  experienced  in  the  war.  The 
Colonel,  one  of  the  Majors,  the  Adjutant  and  others  had  fought 
with  Lyon  at  Wilson's  Creek;  the  Lieutenant-Colonel  was  a 
brilliant  officer  of  the  regular  cavalry ;  and  the  months  spent  in 
camp  awaiting  equipment  offered  an  unusual  opportunity  for 
instruction  and  preparation. 

The  Colonel  was  an  expert  horseman ;  he  supervised  the  pur 
chase  of  the  horses  of  the  regiment  and  personally  examined 
them  all.  No  regiment  could  have  been  better  mounted. 

Changes  in  the  Field  and  Staff  were  rapid  and  numerous  after 
the  regiment  got  into  the  field.  Some  were  disabled  by  disease, 
others  discharged  because  of  erroneous  muster,  others  pro 
moted  in  later  regiments,  and  others  dropped  under  orders  re 
organizing  the  cavalry.  Within  a  year  of  muster-in  only  i  officer 
and  2  non-commissioned  officers  of  the  original  Field  and  Staff 
remained,  and  its  organization  had  been  reduced  by  law  from 
44  in  number  to  19. 

The  whole  number  in  the  Field  and  Staff  during  the  war  (in 
cluding  battalion)  was  44  officers  and  45  non-commissioned 
officers,  of  whom  there  remained  to  be  mustered  out  on  the  last 
roll  ii  officers  and  8  non-commissioned  officers.

COMPANY  A 

was  originally  raised  for  the  Second  Iowa  Cavalry.  It  was 
called  the  "  Sears'  Rangers,"  in  honor  of  E.  H.  Sears,  a  highly 
respected  judge  and  patriotic  citizen  of  Sidney.  The  men  came 
from  Fremont,  Page  and  Mills  counties,  and  were  enlisted  chiefly 
by  Benjamin  Rector,  John  Guylee,  and  J.  Marshall  Rust,  all 
of  whom  were  Methodist  "  preachers,"  Rector  being  also  a  law 
yer.  A  large  part  of  the  men  had  been,  in  July,  1861,  on  an 
expedition  into  Missouri,  mounted  and  armed,  to  quell  a  "  Seces 
sionist  "  rising  there,  and  they  formed  this  company  immediately 
upon  their  return. 

Under  the  Governor's  orders  the  men  were  sworn  into  the 
State  service,  a  part  at  Hawleyville,  August  9,  and  a  part  at 
Sidney,  August  10,  1861 ;  and  all  went  into  camp  August  26,  near 
Sidney.  On  September  5  it  set  out  to  join  the  Second  Cavalry 
at  Davenport.  The  transportation  being  by  farm  wagons  and 
saddle-horses,  it  took  ten  days  to  reach  Davenport.  In  the 
meantime  the  Second  was  filled;  and  the  Third,  the  last  cavalry 
regiment  then  authorized,  was  also  full. 

The  company  remained  in  Camp  McClellan,  near  Davenport, 
one  month,  until  the  War  Department  ordered  the  raising  of 
the  Fourth  Cavalry.  It  at  once  offered  for  that  regiment  and 
moved  to  Mt.  Pleasant,  arriving  October  17,  1861 ;  and  beginning 
immediately  the  construction  of  Camp  Harlan. 

It  was  mustered  in  November  23,  1861,  and  assigned  to  the 
First  Battalion,  first  company,  and  to  the  right  of  the  regimental 
line. 

It  had  4  captains,  3  first  and  3  second  lieutenants,  45  non-com 
missioned  officers,  and  130  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repetitions 
by  promotion  in  the  company,  8  officers  and  144  enlisted  men, 
in  all  152,  of  whom  93  were  the  original  members  and  59  recruits. 

Its  losses  from  all  causes  were  96,  leaving  56  to  be  mustered 
out  on  the  last  roll.

COMPANY   C 

was  the  first  of  the  companies  which  were  raised  directly  for 
the  Fourth  Cavalry.  As  soon  as  Colonel  Porter  received  au 
thority  to  form  the  regiment,  and  partly  under  his  influence, 
enlistments  were  made  for  this  company  at  Mt.  Pleasant.  A 
large  majority  of  its  members  lived  in  that  town  and  the  sur 
rounding  country.  Simeon  D.  Swan  (Major)  and  Orrin  Miller 
(Captain)  are  credited  with  the  greater  part  of  the  enlistments. 

The  company  entered  Camp  Harlan  Nov.  i,  1861,  under  Cap 
tain  Miller,  was  mustered  in  November  25,  1861,  and  upon 
organization  was  assigned  to  the  Second  Battalion,  first  com 
pany,  so  becoming  the  "  Color  Company." 

It  had  3  captains,  3  first  and  4  second  lieutenants,  42  non 
commissioned  officers,  and  105  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repe 
titions  by  promotion  in  the  company  and  transfer  to  another 
company,  it  had  8  officers  and  146  enlisted  men,  154  in  all.  Of 
these  92  composed  the  original  company  and  62  were  recruits. 

Losses  from  all  causes  were  78,  leaving  76  to  be  mustered  out 
at  the  last.  Among  the  losses  were  3  killed  in  action,  2  by  acci 
dent,  9  died  of  disease,  and  24  discharged  or  transferred  to 
Invalid  Corps  and  Veteran  Reserve  Corps  for  disability  caused 
by  disease  or  wounds.  There  were  10  wounded,  2  captured, 
and  2  both  wounded  and  captured,  in  action. 

Of  the  original  company  49  became  Veterans,  and  in  addi 
tion  to  its  original  3  officers,  1 1  of  its  enlisted  men  were  promoted 
to  commissions,  5  in  succession  in  the  company,  5  elsewhere  in 
the  regiment,  and  i  in  another  command.  It  also  furnished 
6  others  to  the  Non-commissioned  Staff. 

From  Aug.  i,  1864,  to  Dec.  20,  1864,  this  company  was  de

COMPANY   D 

grew  out  of  a  body  of  "  Home  Guards"  organized  at  Liberty,  in 
the  southeast  part  of  Henry  county,  early  in  the  summer  of  1861, 
for  the  defense  of  the  Missouri  border.  That  body  was  raised 
chiefly  by  Cornelius  F.  Spearman  and  Lot  Abraham,  who  went 
with  it  and  other  volunteers  on  an  expedition  into  Missouri,  at 
Athens  on  the  Des  Moines  river,  in  August,  1861,  to  counteract 
a  threatened  invasion  of  Iowa  by  "Secessionists." 

When  the  Fourth  Cavalry  was  authorized  the  most  of  these 
men,  with  a  party  from  Marshall,  in  the  same  county,  led  by  John 
T.  Tucker,  organized  a  company  for  it.  They  chose  Spearman 
for  Captain  and  Coiner  and  Tucker  as  Lieutenants,  and  entered 
Camp  Harlan  October  21,  1861. 

The  company  was  mustered  in  November  25,  1861,  and  as 
signed  to  the  First  Battalion  as  the  third  company. 

It  had  2  captains,  4  first  and  4  second  lieutenants,  40  non-com 
missioned  officers  and  113  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repetitions 
by  promotion  in  the  company  and  transfer  to  other  companies, 
it  had  8  officers  and  135  enlisted  men,  143  in  all.  The  original 
company  numbered  82,  i  officer  came  from  another  company, 
and  there  were  60  recruits. 

The  losses  from  all  causes  were  69,  leaving  74  to  be  mustered 
out  on  the  last  roll.  Among  the  losses  were  i  killed  in  action, 
1 1  died  of  disease,  and  22  discharged  or  transferred  to  the  Invalid 
Corps  and  Veteran  Reserve  Corps  for  disability  caused  by  dis 
ease  or  wounds.  It  had  17  wounded,  4  captured,  and  i  both 
wounded  and  captured,  in  action. 

Of  the  original  company  49  became  Veterans  in  December, 
1863;  and,  in  addition  to  the  original  3  officers,  4  of  its  men  be 
came  officers  in  the  company  and  3  in  other  commands.

COMPANY   E 

was  raised  originally  for  a  regiment  of  "  Mounted  Rifles  "  pro 
jected  by  General  Fre'mont,  then  in  command  of  the  department. 
Alonzo  B.  Parkell  began  to  enroll  such  a  company  in  June,  1861, 
under  authority  from  Governor  Kirkwood,  and  held  it  until  he 
became  its  Captain  in  the  Fourth  Cavalry.  His  headquarters 
were  at  Grinnell,  and  the  men  were  found  mostly  in  Poweshiek 
county.  But  the  idea  of  "  Mounted  Rifles  "  was  abandoned, 
and  the  company  was  offered  a  choice  between  the  Fourth 
Cavalry  and  the  Fourteenth  Infantry.  It  chose  the  cavalry, 
and  entered  Camp  Harlan  October  24,  1861. 

It  is  interesting  that  a  considerable  number  of  this  company 
were  students,  the  most  of  them  in  Iowa  College  at  Grinnell. 

It  was  mustered  in  November  23,  1861,  and  assigned  to  the 
Third  Battalion  as  first  company. 

It  had  3  captains,  4  first  and  5  second  lieutenants,  52  non 
commissioned  officers  and  90  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repe 
titions  by  promotion  in  the  company,  it  had  7  officers  and  138 
enlisted  men,  145  in  all,  there  being  95  in  the  original  company 
and  50  recruits. 

The  losses  from  all  causes  were  76,  leaving  69  to  be  mustered 
out  as  a  company  at  the  end.  Among  the  losses  were  i  killed  in 
action,  12  died  of  disease  (i  a  prisoner  of  war),  and  21  discharged 
or  transferred  to  Invalid  Corps  and  Veteran  Reserve  Corps  for 
disability  caused  by  disease  or  wounds.  There  were  6  wounded 
in  action  and  2  captured  in  action  or  by  the  enemy. 

Of  the  original  company  52  became  Veterans  in  December, 
1863.  Besides  the  original  3  officers,  this  company  furnished  9 
others,  4  in  succession  in  the  company,  3  to  other  places  in  the 
regiment,  and  2  to  other  commands.

who  became  the  first  officers,  and  three  others  who  became  Ser 
geants  and  later  officers — Elias  B.  Woodruff,  Albert  W.  Chaney,

commissioned  officers,  and  98  privates,  149  in  all,  of  whom  95 
were  original  members  and  54  recruits. 

Its  losses  from  all  causes  were  80,  leaving  69  to  be  disbanded 
on  the  last  roll.  Among  the  losses  were  5  killed  in  action,  12

COMPANY  H 

found  the  greater  number  of  its  men  in  Chickasaw  county. 
Henry  supplied  about  half  as  many,  and  Mitchell,  Bremer,  and 
Iowa  sent  each  a  substantial  number.  A  few  of  the  men  enlisted 
in  August  and  September,  1861,  for  cavalry  service;  but  when 
the  company  was  large  enough,  in  the  latter  part  of  October,  it 
was  determined  to  organize  it  for  the  Fourth  Cavalry.  It  was 
recruited  chiefly  by  Crawford  and  Troy,  who  became  Captain 
and  First  Lieutenant,  aided  by  Haskell,  who  became  Second 
Lieutenant,  and  Tinkham,  who  became  Sergeant-Major  of  the 
Third  Battalion. 

The  company  entered  Camp  Harlan  early  in  November,  1861, 
and  was  there  organized.  It  was  mustered  in  November  26, 
1 86 1,  and  assigned  to  the  Third  Battalion  as  second  company. 

It  had  3  captains,  4  first  and  6  second  lieutenants,  43  non 
commissioned  officers,  and  169  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repe 
titions  by  promotion  in  the  company  and  transfer  to  other 
companies,  it  had  8  officers  and  161  enlisted  men,  169  in  all,  of 
whom  91  were  original  members  and  78  recruits. 

Its  losses  from  all  causes  were  77,  leaving  92  to  be  mustered 
out  on  the  last  roll.  Among  its  losses  were  4  killed  in  action,  2 
by  accident,  27  died  of  disease  (i  a  prisoner  of  war),  and  16  dis 
charged  or  transferred  to  the  Invalid  Corps  for  disability  caused 
by  disease  or  wounds.  It  had  9  wounded  in  action  and  4  cap 
tured. 

Of  the  original  company  47  became  Veterans,  being  a  greater 
proportion  of  its  eligible  men  than  any  other  company  ree'n- 
listed.  In  reward  for  this  achievement  it  was  assigned  to  the 
Colors,  carrying  from  that  time  the  regimental  standard  and  a 
large  silk  flag  presented  by  the  Loyal  Women's  League  of  Iowa 
to  the  Fourth  Cavalry  as  the  first  Iowa  regiment  to  reenlist  as 
11  Veterans."

COMPANY   I 

was  raised  by  William  Pursel  at  Winterest,  in  September  and 
October,  1861,  chiefly  of  men  of  Madison  county,  though  some 
came  from  Adair  and  Guthrie.  It  was  intended  for  the  "  First 
United  States  Lancers,"  a  regiment  proposed  or  favored  by 
General  Fremont,  then  in  command  of  the  department.  The 
Lancers  were  to  be  commanded  by  a  "  Colonel  "  Pleyel,  and 
had  a  camp  of  rendezvous  at  Burlington.  Pursel's  company 
reached  Burlington  and  went  into  camp  October  24,  but  the 
Lancers  regiment  had  little  encouragement  from  the  War  De 
partment,  was  never  fully  organized,  and  was  disbanded  or 
went  to  pieces  November  16,  1861.  Thereupon  Pursel  and  his 
men  accepted  a  proposal  to  join  the  Fourth  Cavalry,  and,  with 
the  approval  of  the  Governor,  went  at  once  to  Camp  Harlan,  not 
being  deterred  by  the  fact  that  the  day  was  Sunday.  All  the 
men  who  appear  in  this  roster  of  Co.  I  as  enlisted  in  the  Lan 
cers  were  in  Pursel's  company.  When  the  company  came  to 
Camp  Harlan  it  was  already  organized,  Pursel  being  Captain, 
Lambert  First  Lieutenant,  and  Overmyer  Second  Lieutenant. 

It  was  mustered  in  December  5,  1861,  and  assigned  to  the 
Second  Battalion  as  third  company. 

It  had  3  captains,  5  first  and  4  second  lieutenants,  44  non 
commissioned  officers,  and  102  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repeti 
tions  by  promotion  in  the  company,  it  had  10  officers  and  142 
enlisted  men,  152  in  all,  of  whom  82  composed  the  original 
company,  3  were  added  from  other  companies,  and  67  were  re 
cruits. 

The  losses  from  all  causes  were  69,  leaving  83  to  be  mustered 
out  on  the  last  roll.  Of  the  losses  4  were  killed  in  action,  i 
was  drowned,  17  died  of  disease  (i  a  prisoner  of  war),  and  15 
were  discharged  or  transferred  to  the  Invalid  Corps  for  disability 
caused  by  disease  or  wounds.  There  were  9  wounded,  7  cap 
tured,  and  4  both  wounded  and  captured  in  action.

COMPANY   K 

was  enlisted  at  Mt.  Pleasant  directly  for  the  Fourth  Cavalry, 
and  the  original  company  was  composed  entirely  of  men  living 
in  Henry  county.  A  portion  of  them  had  belonged  to  the 
"  Home  Guards  "  mentioned  under  Company  D,  and  in  that 
organization,  under  Captain  Drummond,  had  marched  to  Athens 
in  Missouri  in  the  "Border  War,"  in  August,  1861.  It  was  raised 
by  the  three  men  who  became  its  first  officers,  aided  by  Van- 
orsdol,  who  became  First  Lieutenant. 

It  assembled  early  in  October,  1861,  entered  Camp  Harlan 
about  October  25,  and  was  mustered  in  Nov.  25,  1861,  and  as 
signed  to  the  First  Battalion  as  fourth  company. 

It  had  2  captains,  2  first  and  3  second  lieutenants,  50  non 
commissioned  officers,  and  132  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repe 
titions  due  to  promotion  in  the  company,  i  transfer  to  another 
company,  and  i  taken  as  deserter  from  another  regiment,  it 
had  7  officers  and  135  enlisted  men,  in  all  142,  of  whom  85  were 
the  original  company,  i  was  added  from  the  Field  and  Staff,  and 
56  were  recruits. 

The  losses  from  all  causes  were  72,  leaving  71  to  be  mustered 
on  the  last  roll.  Among  the  losses  were  5  killed  in  action,  i  by 
accident,  n  died  of  disease,  and  23  discharged  or  transferred  to 
the  Invalid  Corps  for  disability  caused  by  disease  or  wounds. 
There  were  14  wounded,  8  captured,  and  2  both  wounded  and 
captured  in  action. 

It  had  36  Veterans  under  the  reenlistment  orders,  and, 
besides  its  3  original  officers,  it  furnished  5  others,  3  to  the  suc 
cession  in  the  company  and  2  to  other  commands. 

In  the  assignment  of  horses  this  company  was  originally  given 
the  blacks,  and  so  was  known  humorously  as  "  the  Black-horse 
Cavalry."

COMPANY    L 

like  Company  I,  grew  from  a  company  raised  for  Pleyel's 
(ist  U.  S.)  Lancers.  This  company  was  assembled  at  Bur 
lington  in  August,  September,  and  October,  1861,  under  Cap 
tain  Harris  and  Lieutenant  Woods,  and  was  composed  of  men 
from  many  different  counties  of  the  State.  When  the  Lancers 
regiment  was  disbanded,  November  16,  1861,  the  officers  and 
a  majority  of  the  men  agreed  to  join  the  Fourth  Cavalry,  and 
went  to  Mt.  Pleasant  in  a  body  for  that  purpose,  arriving 
November  i  gth.  Others  who  had  been  in  the  Lancers  afterward 
joined  there;  the  company  was  thereupon  reorganized  as  L,  was 
mustered  in  November  25,  1861,  and  assigned  to  the  Second 
Battalion  as  fourth  company. 

It  had  3  captains,  4  first  and  4  second  lieutenants,  44  non-com 
missioned  officers,  and  129  privates;  or,  deducting  for  repetitions 
by  promotion  in  the  company  and  transfer  to  other  companies, 
it  had  8  officers  and  130  enlisted  men,  138  in  all,  of  whom  69  were 
original  members  and  69  recruits. 

Its  losses  from  all  causes  were  71,  leaving  67  to  be  mustered 
out  on  the  last  roll.  Among  the  losses  were  4  killed  in  action,  i 
by  accident,  10  died  of  disease,  and  12  discharged  for  disability 
caused  by  disease  or  wounds.  It  had  15  wounded  and  5  cap 
tured  in  action  or  by  the  enemy. 

Of  the  original  company  35  became  Veterans,  4  were  pro 
moted  to  commissions  in  the  company  (in  addition  to  the  orig 
inal  3  officers)  and  2  in  other  commands.

COMPANY   M 

was  enlisted  in  Jefferson  county,  in  October,  1861,  directly  for 
the  Fourth  Cavalry.  It  was  raised  chiefly  under  the  influence 
of  Abial  R.  Pierce,  who  became  Captain,  and  who  had  been  a 
Captain  of  the  "  Home  Guards  "  in  the  "  Border  War,"  in  August, 
mentioned  in  the  accounts  of  Cos.  D  and  K.  Some  of  the  men  of 
this  company  were  also  in  that  service.  Frederick  S.  Whiting 
had  been  recruiting  for  a  battery  of  artillery,  but  joined  Pierce 
with  his  men,  and  became  First  Lieutenant. 

The  company  reached  Camp  Harlan  at  the  end  of  October,  and 
organized  itself  there  November  2d,  electing  as  its  first  officers 
Pierce,  Whiting,  and  Aaron  J.  Newby. 

It  was  mustered  in  November  25,  1861,  and  assigned  to  the 
Third  Battalion,  third  company. 

It  had  2  captains,  2  first  and  2  second  lieutenants,  39  non 
commissioned  officers,  and  117  privates;  or,  deducting  for  re 
petitions  due  to  promotion  in  the  company  and  transfer  to 
another  company,  it  had  5  officers  and  153  enlisted  men,  158  in 
all,  of  whom  89  were  the  original  members  and  69  recruits. 

Its  losses  from  all  causes  were  77,  leaving  81  to  be  mustered 
out  on  the  last  roll.  Among  the  losses  were  i  killed  in  action,  20 
died  of  disease  (i  a  prisoner  of  war),  and  23  discharged  or  trans 
ferred  to  the  Veteran  Reserve  Corps  for  disability  caused  by  dis 
ease  or  wounds.  There  were  6  wounded  and  2  captured  in  action. 
,  Of  the  original  company  52  became  Veterans,  2  were  pro 
moted  to  commissions  in  the  company  (besides  the  original  3) 
.and  3  to  commissions  in  other  commands,  one  of  the  latter  in 
the  regular  army.  One  of  the  recruits  became  a  cadet  at  West 
Point  after  he  was  mustered  out  of  this  company,  and  in  due 
time  an  officer  in  the  regular  army.

service,  and  so  appear  only  on  leports  made  out  of  the  regiment; 
but  it  is  probable,  also,  that  some  were  "  bounty-jumpers  "  or 
habitual  "  deserters,"  enlisting  at  different  places  under  different 
names,  to  get  the  bounties  or  out  of  native  cussedness.  So  no 
doubt  some  of  the  names  are  false. 

To  give  all  known  means  of  identification  the  whole  record  in 
each  case  is  printed  here.  The  place  next  after  the  name  is  the 
residence  in  Iowa  given  on  enlistment. 

Burris,  Jacob  B.,  Mt.  Pleasant.  Born  in  Indiana,  age  21;  enl.

Cook,  William  A.  No  record  of  age,  residence,  enlistment,  or

congestive  fever,  in  U.  S.  army  general  hospital  at  Camp 
McClellan,  Davenport,  and  he  was  there  reported  as  a 
private  of  the  4th  Iowa  Cav.  Other  (unofficial)  evi 
dence  in  the  office  of  the  Adjt.-Gen.  of  Iowa  represents 
him  as  a  recruit  intended  for  Co.  K,  4th  Iowa  Cav.,  and 
this  is  verified  by  Lieut.  Vanorsdol  of  that  Co.

join  the  regt.,  March  26,  1864,  cause  not  reported,  and 
buried  in  Nat.  Cem.  at  Rock  Island,  111.

[NoTE. — Not  the  same  man  as  Jacob  C.  Young  in  Co.  B.] 


REJECTED 

The  first  rolls  of  the  companies  (except  D  and  E)  contain  the 
names  of  men  who  were  enlisted  but  who  were  not  mustered  in. 
They  were  "  rejected  "  by  the  mustering  officer,  some  for  physi 
cal  incapacity,  some  as  being  under  or  over  the  military  age,  but 
the  most  because  they  were  not  present  at  the  muster.  In  all 
there  were  5  2 .  Some  who  were  minors  succeeded  later  in  getting 
in  and  some  of  the  absent  returned  and  were  accepted,  and  the 
names  of  these  appear  in  their  companies. 

The  names  of  the  others  are  not  given  here  because,  although 
some  of  them  no  doubt  really  tried  to  get  into  the  regiment,  it 
is  certain  that  others,  probably  the  most,  did  not,  and  it  is  not 
possible  to  say  which  are  entitled  to  the  credit  and  which  are 
not. 


ENROLLED  BY  ERROR 

Eight  names  appear  in  certain  rolls  and  reports  in  the  office 
of  the  Adjutant-General  of  Iowa  as  of  men  in  the  Fourth  Cav 
alry,  though  no  such  men  were  ever  in  it. 

The  first  five  are  found  in  other  regiments.  They  may  have 
intended  to  go  into  this  regiment,  perhaps  enlisted  for  it,  but 
later,  and  before  muster-in,  chose  other  commands. 

As  to  the  remaining  three  no  explanation  is  found  except  in 
the  suggestion  of  clerical  blunders.  The  men  may  have  belonged 
to  other  regiments;  if  so,  it  must  be  that  some  careless  official 
failed  to  get  the  whole  of  their  records  in  the  right  places. 

Dawson,  John  R.,  Ross  Tp.,  Fremont  Co.  Born  in  Ohio;  enl. 
May  2, 1864,  for  3  years.  Found  in  Co.  E,  6th  Iowa  Cav. 

Forney,  Philip,  Ross  Tp.,  Fremont  Co.  Born  in  Illinois;  enl.  May 
9,  1864,  for  3  years.  Found  in  Co.  E,  6th  Iowa  Cav. 

Johnson,  James  M.,  Scott  Tp.,  Fremont  Co.  Born  in  Ohio,  age 
25;  enl.  April  30,  1864,  for  3  years.  Found  in  Co.  E, 
6th  Iowa  Cav. 

Murphy,  Thomas  J.,  Alamakee  Co.  Born  in  Ireland,  age  20; 
enl.  Dec.  28,  1862.  Found  in  Co.  M,  2d  Iowa  Cav. 

Stafford,  Jesse,  Scott  Tp.,  Fremont  Co.  Born  in  Ohio,  age  36; 
enl.  and  mustered  in  May  2,  1864,  for  3  years.  Found  in 
Co.  E,  6th  Iowa  Cav. 

Jones,  William.  This  name  appears  on  the  last  (the  muster-out) 
roll  of  G,  with  the  remark,  "  Awaiting  trial  for  forgery." 
It  is  not  in  the  proper  place  alphabetically,  but  at  the 
foot  of  the  roll  and  in  a  handwriting  different  from  the 
remainder.  No  other  roll  or  report  of  Co.  G  or  of  the 
regt.  at  any  time  contains  any  evidence  of  the  exist 
ence  of  such  a  man.  The  surviving  officer  and  others 
of  the  company  have  no  memory  of  such  a  man  or  of 
any  man  under  such  a  charge. 

Littler,  George  L.  In  a  report  of  the  regt.  by  the  Adjt.-Gen.  of 
Iowa  this  name  appears  as  "  enlisted  Aug.  27,  1864," 


FOURTH   IOWA    CAVALRY  213 

with  the  remark,  "Never  joined  the  Co.  Mustered  out 
Aug.  29,  1865."  Such  a  man  was  never  known  in  the 
regt.  and  never  appeared  on  any  of  its  rolls.  He  may  have 
been  an  "  unassigned  "  recruit,  detained  somewhere  ir 
regularly  on  detached  service,  but  that  is  only  a  guess. 
The  same  name  is  found  as  that  of  a  private  in  Co.  F, 
8th  Iowa  Inf.,  but  enl.  Oct.  i,  1861. 

Wilder,  James  W.  An  early  report  of  the  Adjt.-Gen.  of  Iowa 
shows  this  name  in  Co.  K,  4th  Cav.,  with  the  remark, 
"  Died  Sep.  8,  1862,  at  Batesville,  Ark."  There  is  no 
other  evidence.  The  name  is  not  on  any  roll  of  any 
co.  of  the  regt.,  no  such  man  was  known  to  the  surviving 
officers  of  Co.  K,  and  at  the  date  given  for  his  death 
Batesville  must  have  been  held  by  the  enemy.  He 
may  have  been  at  that  time  a  prisoner  of  war  from  some 
other  regt.

SUMMARY 

The  history  of  the  regiment  mentioned  in  the  Preface  contains 
(at  pages  575  and  576)  tables  of  statistics  which,  in  some  items, 
have  been  found  incorrect.  It  was  compiled  from  official  reports 
based  upon  the  original  rolls,  but,  in  examining  the  record  of 
each  member  of  the  regiment  for  the  purposes  of  this  book,  many 
errors  and  contradictions  in  those  reports  have  been  disclosed, 
which,  so  far  as  they  aifect  the  figures,  are  here  corrected. 

The  men  rejected  by  the  mustering  officer,  who  are  included  in 
that  table  because  they  were  on  the  original  rolls,  are  omitted 
from  this.  So  are  those  found  to  be  deserters  from  other  com 
mands.
